ex Clio 172 owner :(
Hi.
Is it worth doing an oil change at 1000k miles on brand new car?
I bought it in July and have done 1000 miles now and although it's not due to be serviced until 12500 miles or 1 year, I feel this is quite far away.
My thinking is changing the oil now will hopefully remove any impurities that the engine may have had and keep the whole engine new as possible.
So
A: Change it now.
B: Change at 6000 miles (which I'm planning to do at every 6000 miles anyway)
C: I'm wasting my time with A & B so stick to 12500 mile service.
Car is 08 plate Fiesta Zetec-S 1.6 Petrol.
(don't feel this needs to be in Other Marques as it would apply to any new car)
